Life

Christian Moritz Pauli received school lessons from a private teacher from the age of eight. He then attended the Lyceum in Lübben with the rector Karl Benedikt Suttinger for a year . At the age of 14 he started school in Gotha (today: Ernestinum Gotha ) in 1799 and had lessons from Friedrich Jacobs and Friedrich Wilhelm Döring, among others . At school he also met Carl Friedrich Göschel , who later became the President of the Consistory of the Church Province of Saxony , with whom he had a lifelong friendship.

In 1802 he left school and began studying philology and law for a year and a half at the University of Wittenberg . In 1804 he continued his studies at the University of Leipzig , but swapped law for a degree in philosophy. After becoming a Dr. phil. after receiving his doctorate , he accepted a position as private tutor in Hamburg , but only stayed a month because he fell into a mood of depression and withdrew to Eutritzsch ; There, the draftsman Wilhelmine Geyser (1755-1813), widow of the painter Christian Gottlieb Geyser and daughter of the painter Adam Friedrich Oeser , took care of him for a year .

After his recovery he asked for a school office and in 1809 was employed as vice-principal in Lübben. After the school in a 1817 public school was converted, he received his transfer as a vice-principal of Brandenburg , but met again limited to health, whereupon he was for his health after Carlsbad went; During this time he asked for a use in Berlin.

In the late summer of 1817 he arrived in Berlin and had the desire to receive an academic teaching post when he fell ill with a nervous fever in 1821 . In 1822 he received a promise of employment and took over from Michaelis 1822 until Easter 1823 a few weekly lessons at the French grammar school in Berlin . After his work there had been publicly recognized by the Consistorial Councilor Palmié, he received from the director of the Friedrichswerder high school , Christian Gottlieb Zimmermann (1766–1841), the offer to teach a few hours a week in the two upper classes at the institution; after a short time he was appointed senior teacher .

In 1824 he fell ill again and died on February 5, 1825.

Writing

He dealt scientifically with philological and philosophical topics and wrote some works on them. In the Breslau gymnastics feud , he took a negative stance and wrote a pamphlet to the proponent Henrich Steffens , who later commented on this in his foreword in the pamphlet Caricaturen des Heilesten : In a dispute that I by no means wish to renew here, he has Ingenious, honest Pauli proved that I did him an injustice, that he had already fought what I was attacking with the male weapons. He proved it, and the way it happened brought me close to a man I hold dear .

He also wrote essays in the Freimüthige Blätter for Germans in relation to war, politics and economics by Friedrich von Coelln and in the two volumes of the Berlin Journal for Science and Literature (1824, 1825).

His remarks were also used by Gotthold Ephraim Lessing , among others , and he was friends with Friedrich Hufeland and August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben and associated with them in the house of Karl Hartwig Gregor von Meusebach .
